Solution

The correct option is C 256

EBCDIC can code up to 256 different characters

EBCDIC Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code is a binary code for alphabetic and numeric characters that IBM developed for its larger operating systems.

The main consequence of that difference is the number of characters that can be accommodated with each one. EBCDIC can accommodate up to 28 characters for a total of 256 while the 27 of ASCII has a maximum of 128 characters.
